Chapter 36 Buenos Aires, 34° 36′ 12″ S, 58° 22′ 54″ W, San Telmo

Andalas entered the crowds of San Telmo with some apprehensions. The W-05 target was unpredictable. This target was illusive. He was a FARC official who later became one of the top leaders of the One World Consortium after the declaration of their organization sometimes ago.

He was wanted by Colombian government which was assisted by the CIA for many years. But their efforts always failed. Hugo Caciedo was too slippery to be hunted in the usual way. Decades of moving from place to place in parts of the Amazon Forest in the territory of the country of Colombia, had made him very difficult to detect even with high technology.

After being appointed one of the six highest leaders of the OWC, Hugo Caciedo started traveling from one big city to another. Amazingly he was still difficult to track.

Based on the information from The Kitchen and The Consultant, there was information that Hugo Caciedo was in Buenos Aires on a consolidation mission. The Kitchen was only able to identify Hugo's whereabouts in San Telmo. But his exact whereabout, The Kitchen couldn't pinpoint where.

Andalas had to find it for himself among the crowds of San Telmo. He memorized Hugo Caciedo's face and physique. Tall skinny with a face that was always sullen. He was a bit limp because of injury from land mine explosion laid by the Colombian government soldiers several years ago.

Unlike the hunt for Organizational figures, Andalas had to be extra careful in dealing with OWC figures. They were all former field soldiers who fought many fierce battles.

Hugo was the Stepmother's most trusted confidant. His duty was to travel around the world to recruit terrorist leaders and rebels in the territory of a country. Hugo had great communication skills. Capable of diplomacy and intellectual property which was more than enough to convince people.

Andalas was a little overwhelmed. It was not easy to find one person among tens of thousands of tourists in San Telmo.

He received some information from the Consultant that Hugo Caciedo was art afficionado. Andalas first doubted this information. A former guerrilla leader who spent half his life in the forest have an interest in art? If it was one of the Organization's figures, maybe. The leaders of the Organization were mostly have affluent background.

But since he had no more useful info, Andalas decided to go to the Argentine Cinema Museum. The most reasonable place to look for people interested in art in ​​San Telmo.

Andalas entered the Argentine Cinema Museum with some skepticism. Based on the information given by The Consultant, he would tour the museum and try to find Hugo Caciedo.

With sheer luck, Andalas immediately saw the person he recognized as Hugo Caciedo entering the cinema room which always screened old Latin movies. Andalas followed carefully. People like Hugo must have sensitive senses if someone was stalking him.

Hugo Caciedo was sitting in the corner seat in the fifth row. Andalas questioned himself. What if the person wasn't Hugo Caciedo. He despised collateral damage. He didn't mind sacrificing Xavier Santino's bodyguard because to him the bodyguard wasn't an innocent bystander. Andalas frowned weighing his options. He couldn't waste time because the next target would attend an international conference in Rio De Janeiro the day after tomorrow.

Killer Hunter decided not to sit but headed towards the projector room instead. This may be the only way. Andalas felt the weight of the Sako TRG 42 in his bag as he entered the projector room, which was currently playing the film Biography of Evita Peron.

Andalas did not need to knock or force open the door because the projector room was open. A middle-aged man smoked his cheap cigar while keeping an eye on the roll of film.

The man was taken aback when an Asian-looking person suddenly stood in front of him. But he did not have time to rebuke a word because he suddenly fainted from a blow from Andalas's left hand.

Andalas put down his bag and started assembling the Sako TRG 42. Once the sniper rifle was ready for use, Andalas placed it in the hole where the projector reflected the film. The person he thought was Hugo Caciedo was clearly visible from here in the form of a black silhouette.

Andalas grabbed the light knob and turned on the lights in the cinema room and then turned on the loudspeakers.

"We're sorry the film is temporarily suspended due to an urgent announcement. Our viewer's Stepmother is looking for Mr. Hugo Caciedo. If you are that person, please let yourself out of the door we have provided at the back on the left."

Hugo Caciedo gasped. Stepmother was looking for him here? Hadn't he already called and reported that the consolidation was delayed by a day because the people from the Balkans had not arrived yet?

But it would be fatal to ignore her. She led the OWC with iron-fisted even to those closest to her. That was why people knew her as the Stepmother. Cruel and merciless.

Hugo Caciedo stood up and walked fast towards the exit. At the same time Andalas' Sako TRG 42 erupted in silent. Confused, Hugo rubbed his chest and saw his blood gushing out.

There were screams here and there as Hugo wobbled and fell into a pool of his own blood on the cinema floor. Andalas calmly put Sako TRG 42 back in the bag and walked out after activating the explosives in the bag to destroy the sniper rifle and eliminate any remaining fingerprints there.
